Thanks for this excellent guide. I used it yesterday when my mouse key was getting stuck. I popped open the Dell and had removed most everything in order to get to the keyboard and mouse when I noticed the mouse wasn't stuck anymore, so something in the process had dislodged it and I went about re-assembly. The sequencing of what to remove in what order is very helpful.

Do you know the size of the screws being used on this Dell Laptop? Specifically the Lid Hinge Screws (2 on each hinge). I have an E6510 that's missing those screws, apparently someone has been in this before.

If you mean the 2 screws on each side under the hinge covers holding the LCD assembly to the chassis, those are going to be M2.5x8 screws (same ones used for the "P" labeled screws.

It's the same size if you are talking about the hinge screws inside the LCD assembly (behind the bezel).

Thanks for making VERY helpful guide! My Dell Latitude E6500 went into 'black screen' and would not boot after I accidently leaned my elbow too hard to the left of the touchpad. Disassembling the E6500 revealed inductor PL17 burnt (PL17 is located just underneath where I placed my elbow). It was impossible for me to measure the inductance, because PL17 was split in two halves. PL17 was black, and package size 0603. Since the tracks around PL17 is around 4mm wide, I assumed possibility for higher current. Therefore I selected the lowest inductance value of 'black' inductors in the 0805 series which is 82 nH (measured serial resistance to be between 50 and 60 mohm). I doubt the selected value is the correct one, but I think it is worth a try. Replaced inductor, reassembled the PC, powered up, and it works like a charm as nothing had happened!!! To prevent short circuit to happen again, I isolated all components in this area with a layer of kapton tape. Thanks again for making such good disassembly instruction.

Hi, thank you for this info. But how do you disconnect the hard drive cage from the motherboard?
